Friday update:
11:30am Friday: he stayed stable last night. All of the vitals are good and pressures look good. We are signing consents for a procedure Monday to help with the lungs. We will scan the brain tomorrow or Sunday to check on the swelling. Should be a fairly quiet weekend.

All updates are coming from Buck's daughter inlaw. She has been at the hospital every day for him.

Buck Mercer update
5pm Friday: We made some good progress today. They were able to move him around and get a bath. They have begun to lower the vent. He is now at 70%, they will continue to monitor and lower as he allows. They have also started to decrease some of the medications. Hopefully his body tolerates and we can eliminate some. Will post his status again tomorrow morning if nothing changes.

Sounds at least somewhat promising. Hope to hear some more good news tomorrow.

7:48 Saturday: Uneventful day. Vent is still about 70% O2. He was running a bit of a fever but they are working to get that down. Another head CT scheduled for morning.

Buck Mercer update
8pm Sunday 3/20: He had a rough night last night and O2 had to go back up to 100%. He has also developed an infection in his lungs. Back on the cooling blanket and on 3 antibiotics now. They were able to get O2 down to 90% today. Still has the fever. CT scan of the head looked ok.

Monday Update:
This afternoon went to see Buck Mercer with Wayde Mercer. He wanted to see his uncle. So glad he was able to see him. Buck is and will be for awhile in critical condition. Our family is just taking things one day at a time. Once again thanks for all the support from all our friends. Please keep up with the prayers.

This update was from Buck's daughter inlaw.

It is really cool all the support that Bucks family is getting. And the collection that Jeff took up to purchase the parts for Bucks car and all the people who have volunteered their time to help.

The world of classic car people is really amazing.

There wasn't much updates for Tuesday or Wednesday.

Todays update 3/24/16:

1pm Thursday 3/24: Vent is 90% O2 and the rate of respiration has been adjusted. They are continuing to monitor blood gases to see what works. We have a nephrologist coming in today to evaluate his kidney function. Brain swelling is still ok. Praying for some progress in the lungs.

Being on the ventilator this long is very scary ,not good for the lungs at all ,prayers coming .

There is so many car people praying all over the country for him. I sure hope he makes it.
